Mick McCarthy has described Wolves' treatment room as "emergency ward 10" ahead of the trip to Wigan.

Striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake is sidelined for a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury picked up in Saturday's opening-day defeat to West Ham, while right-back Kevin Foley is also ruled out for a similar spell with a medial ligament problem.

Kevin Doyle (groin) and centre-back Christophe Berra (hamstring) are still not 100 per cent and will also miss out but are expected to be okay for Saturday's game at Manchester City.

Full-back Stephen Ward and midfielders Greg Halford and Matt Jarvis also picked up knocks at the weekend but are expected to feature, while striker Chris Iwelumo (foot) and winger Michael Kightly (hip and foot) remain out.

Match stats:

The six league games between these sides have averaged an entertaining 4.1 goals per game.

There has never been an away win in any of these league encounters.

Wigan managed only 17 home goals in 19 games last season, a Premier League low along with relegated Middlesbrough.

Hugo Rodallega has scored four goals in his last five Premier League games.

Wolves did not manage a single away win in their last top-flight campaign in 2003-04.

The Latics have failed to score more than once in all of their home league matches in 2009.

Mick McCarthy's side won four of their last six away matches in the Championship, each by one goal.

Wolves allowed West Ham to take seven shots on target from inside the box in the opening day 2-0 defeat - more than any other side on opening day.

Wigan, by contrast, were the only team on opening day not to concede a single shot on target from inside the area as they beat Aston Villa 2-0.
